Pros

It is hard to get fired here. Show up close to on time, don't go over 40 hours and you can pretty much coast by on fumes. As long as you have some social abilities ( like breathing) and you don't steal or lose cash, there really isn't a way to get fired.

Cons

I've only been working here for about 3 months but I have gotten some bad vibes already. My resume isn't the most impressive as a 24 year old student, but cashiering isn't my first rodeo and I asked for 10$ an hour starting. They start me at 9 and inform me "this is what we start everyone at." I accepted this as I assumed hard work would earn me recognition (and increased pay)I was later informed by co workers that this was not entirely accurate as they were started at higher wages. Well after only a month being there the company began doing their bi annual reviews of employees. I should have been training to be a cashier, but the management wanted me to push shopping carts in the parking lot the majority of the time. I'm talking in triple digit heat, over 20 hours of my "hair under 40," hour work week outside in the lot. These reviews were based a lot on your abilities as a cashier, but when I could have been training to get my items per minute (cashier speed quota) up, I was in the parking lot. So my review was based on seriously less than one 40 hour week of me on the register which impacted my review since they justified giving me a .17$ raise. Not. Even. A quarter. How hard I worked outside really wasn't even a factor. If I have more of this garbage in the future I will be finding a new job.

Pros

10% off HEB stuff. That's it...

Cons

NO FULL-TIME OFFER! The recruitment process at H-E-B Digital is deeply frustrating and appears to lack integrity. Despite having relevant internship experience and receiving positive feedback during the interview process, I found that the company’s hiring strategy seems entirely reliant on prioritizing individuals recently laid off from FAANG companies. It feels as though they are not genuinely interested in developing new talent or giving equal consideration to qualified candidates who don't fit that specific profile. Advice for Management: Be transparent with applicants regarding your hiring criteria. It is demoralizing to waste time and emotional energy interviewing when the process feels like a box-checking exercise. If you are not actually hiring, do not string candidates along with positive feedback. The current approach reflects poorly on the company’s values and brand. Recommendation: If you are not a recent layoff from a major tech firm, I would suggest looking elsewhere. It appears to be their business model to prioritize those specific candidates over others, regardless of your personal qualifications or positive performance during interviews.
